It's probably a bit early to look at this but 26 points remain up for grabs in SL. We are 4 points + modest points difference behind the leaders, Wigan.

So mathematically (assuming neutral points difference over the games and no draws) we need to win 3 more games than Wigan from the last 13 remaining to secure top spot. I guess it's possible but is it likely?

Of the key games remaining both Wire and Wigan have 6 home games and 7 away remaining. Wigan have yet to play Wire and Saints at home and Leeds away. We have to play Leeds and Saints at home and Wigan away.

We win 2 of those, including the Wigan one and they lose one of the others, then it'd be nip and tuck. St Helens might win the rest of their matches and pip us both!

Indeed. They also have 7 home games from 13.

Depends on who can keep their players on the field and avoid injury which is a random, unpredictable factor. It is a big blow that Myler will probably miss 5 or 6 of these games.

Achievable yes but not very likely imo. Surely you would be more than happy with a top 4 finish after missing out on the top 8 last year?

Saints were 6 behind us (Leeds) with less games to play the other year (2008) but they still finished top.

Of course its achievable. Its only a 4 point gap which can disappear within a few weeks. All 3 of us have a good chance but obviously as it stands we should be favourites. Still 26 more points up for grabs, so alot still to happen. Those games between Wigan, Saints and Warrington will have a huge impact on who finishes top.

Four of Saints away games though are Wigan , Wire ,Leeds and Hull, i know saints on there day are capable of winning all four of those but its not a great run in to have ..

lets just try and finish in the top 4 lol which we should do but with the injuries now its quite possible we could go on a bad run and that includes the bradford cup game

I also think that it depends on which teams make it through to the semi's/final of the challenge cup?

I actually believe our best chance of finishing top of the pile is probably getting beat at Bradford in the next round of the cup!

Finishing top won't make it any easier. If Wigan come top they will probably play leeds(4th) in the first game and when it comes to club call they'll most likely have a choice of Leeds again, saints or wire and that's just to get to old trafford. Whoever wins it this year will have really earned it and if you don't make the top four you haven't got much of a chance.

Beating Wigan at the DW is possible but the main factor which might then swing it Wolves way is that our games against the remaining big sides are at home.
